First few days in Morroco

first internet cafe we have found so sorry update not sooner. Richard met his first camel today up close and didnt get spat at. lots of dust and rocky paths. crossed several rivers. Think Richard is in shock as everything is so new and breath taking. So amazing you can drive somewhere so differnt in a short space of time. People are friendly as we travel through. Car is behaving well bar a few small things e.g altering ride height at front so we dont hit rocks when going through dried river beds. Many break downs with other teams due to rough rocky Mountain tracks. suspension and tie rods, bent arms and shocks being the most common breaks.

Still in Morroco, getting warmer already and appreciating the fan my dad insisted we fit. Thanks dad! Food been great in evening from organsers. Other teams are great fun and keen to help each other. This promises to be a action packed trip with lots of laughs. Soon we are travelling into high sand territory towards Western Sahara.

Animals seen so far include dead goat.. live goats, sheep, hawks, cows, thin cows, camels, donkeys, frogs, toads and black and white unidentified small thing with spotty body and stripey bushy tail?? bye for now xx eleanor and richard.
